Regret


Since the day of his meeting with Harris, Adreano has always taken his activities seriously. He was determined to complete his mission and immediately return to his Military Academy. Time passed until the semester exams came.


All the students were busy preparing themselves for the test. The library began to be crowded by students who were busy studying. Not really, autumn has turned into winter. And in a moment, the final year student at Lydenn Academy will graduate in the spring.


Adreano and his friends are trying hard to get the best results in the semester exam. They are getting more familiar by the day. Adreano became more and more intermingled between them. He also has to carry out his mission.


Adreano plans to get his friends involved in his mission head-on but, without knowing it is an Intelligence Agency mission. Slowly Adreano took persuasive action against some of his friends. Adreano plans to take advantage of those against OSIS.


Their days all continued until the day of the exam came.


. . .


With a blue backpack on his back Joseph came charging at the crowd in the school lobby. There is a large screen that displays information, and at that time is displaying the values of the students.


"Woiii !! Move everything! Move over!" Joseph shouted to the people in front of him.


After successfully reaching the front row of the crowd, his eyes searched for something on that screen. He looks for his name in what level at the parallel level.


Meanwhile, from a distance Youngjoo and Adreano seemed to pat their foreheads. Amane and Hyerim just shook their heads at Joseph's behavior.


"Good God, for God's sake that kid..." Hyerim.


"Yes to be flanked again, that's where it is..." Adreano.


"Stupid, the most also out of the top fifty rankings" Youngjoo replied.


"I don't think so..." Said Harris who came suddenly. He came and showed his iPad towards Youngjoo.


Youngjoo then looked at the iPad as well as Adreano. They both went after Joseph,


"Wih advanced is also this child! Tumben loh he's ranked in the top 50!" Youngjoo.


Hearing Youngjoo's voice from a distance, Joseph ran towards him and climbed on Youngjoo's shoulder. Then smiled widely with his Peace sign hand,


"I Made it! rank 49 hehehe!!" Exclaims.


Youngjoo who felt objection to Joseph's body weight immediately hit him,


"Down!! Weight, body Lo ! " Reply Youngjoo with non-standard sentences.


"Yes sorry, bro ! What if you guys?" Joseph said while forcing a look at Harris's iPad.


"God..." Harris said his iPad was taken by force.


There, Youngjoo ranked first, Adreano ranked third, Simon ranked fifth, Hyerim ranked twenty. While Amane is on the leaderboard of different forces. After seeing that, Joseph immediately felt sad and returned Harris' iPad. Youngjoo just laughed loudly at the moody Joseph.


"How much did you get Amane?" Ask Hyerim


"ah! Amane ranked eighteenth, Hyerim-chan!" Speaks excited.


Hyerim rubbed Amane's head gently and hugged her tightly.


"www!! Very good my sister..." Hyerim said while fixing Amane's hair bangs.


Soon, Simon came with some parcels and greeted his friends,


"Good everyone!!! This time we enter the top 50 all at the parallel level" said Simon who glanced at Joseph.


"Hey ! Don't lyric me like that huh!" Exasperated Joseph.


"What are you carrying? Said you were out earlier picking up a shipment..." Harris told Simon.


Simon lifted the parcel in the large paper bag,


"Oh this! Got a delivery from my brother for you too, he said to eat together" he replied.


"Waaahh! We got food!" joseph exclaimed with excitement.


"Mrs. Cardia is so noisy! " Hyerim said hitting Joseph on the back.


"If it's food, it's first..." Reply Youngjoo while embracing Joseph's shoulder. Joseph just chuckled.


"Then, let's get to where we used to be!" Amane cried with passion.


"Did you guys see Jia?" Ask Simon.


"Jia-senpai has been home since. He said there is important business but I will chat so that we can gather together" replied Amane while holding his phone.


Hearing that Simon's facial expression turned worried. Adreano who realized it then grabbed onto his shoulder,


"Let's go first, Jia will come later" Adreano assured Simon.


Then, Simon nodded and walked along with the others.


The school bell has rung. The entire student went towards the school gate and immediately returned to their respective dormitories. While Adreano's group moved towards their meeting place.


. . .


School is over today. The school lobby looks deserted, the classes are empty. All the teachers and staff had half returned to their dormitories. Only leaving the guards ready to stand in it.


Bianca walked towards the school lobby, where the ranking announcement screen was located. It stopped in the middle of it and looked towards the top 50. Bianca is ranked first in its class ranking. Then, his eyeballs moved down and looked at the other ranks,


"Adrean..." Said slowly.


The sound of shoes walking towards her, distracting Bianca. A tall man with blond hair came up with his distinctive style, both his hands in his pants pockets, he said,


"You're sorry now?" He then stood beside Bianca.


Bianca smiled, though,


"Isn't it too late to be sorry, Jonathan..." Reply Bianca.


The boy named Jonathan pointed to the screen and said,


"At least my sister has an increase. Though stupid, but he had a friend by his side. I envy her. Hahaha" Laughter Jonathan.


"It's my last moment here. I can't be sorry or step back..." Say Bianca with her flat face.


"Once you've chosen your way of life, you have no other choice. You will only be able to advance or surrender" Jonathan continued.


"You're right. The real life show was just about to start as an adult" Bianca said with a small smile.


"But you have to take responsibility for your choices. Although sometimes you think you choose it unconsciously or do not consider it" said Jonathan wisely.


"The human heart, no one knows. Even though you're an antagonist, the feeling of guilt sometimes haunts you..." Bianca lirih.


Jonathan sighed for a moment and looked back at the big screen,


"What's wrong with being an Antagonist, after all we are the main protagonists in our own life stories..." Jonathan.


Bianca who heard Jonathan's words turned to look at him,


"What do you mean?" Ask Bianca.


"Hey Bi, they just don't know our wounds. They do not see our efforts, but when we disagree with them or not in line with them... They'll say we're opponents or antagonists. So, it doesn't matter who the Antagonist is..." Jonathan clear.


Bianca just stood still and looked at the big screen in front of her. Jonathan immediately walked away leaving Bianca in silence.


Bianca then smiled, saying,


"No matter, being an Antagonist must have a reason. Because we are made by the people around us, and our attitude is created by circumstances. Just to survive..." Bianca said slowly.


Bianca left the school. He walked slowly along the road to the dormitory. The view is white, covered in thick snow. The air is getting colder. Snow falling from the sky. Bianca exhales and produces steam in the air.


From a distance a girl approached him and put a scarf around his neck.


"The air's getting cold, I made you a scarf...Bianca" The girl said. It was Estelle.


Bianca just smiled faintly and walked ahead of Estelle. The two walked together towards the dormitory building area. The atmosphere between the two was completely calm and as cold as the thick snow that accompanied their journey. The two brothers said nothing and continued to walk to their respective destinations.
